During the workshop and associated Rendezvous opportunities, each participant will:</div><ul class="" style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><li class="">Learn about academic careers in different educational settings (e.g., two-year colleges, primarily undergraduate institutions, universities).<br class=""></li><li class="">Develop a plan for your next career stage. Set goals to move toward that plan.<br class=""></li><li class="">Learn about the job search process and improve your job applications: learn about documenting strengths and accomplishments in teaching and research, and develop or revise your teaching statement.<br class=""></li><li class="">Improve your communication skills: the elevator pitch and interviews.<br class=""></li><li class="">Explore aspects of effective and innovative teaching. Make your own selections from Monday-Wednesday afternoon Rendezvous workshops and sessions. These are open to you and included in registration.</li></ul><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><font color="black" face="Tahoma" class="" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span dir="ltr" class="">You can find more details on the workshop website:</span></font></div><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><font color="black" face="Tahoma" class="" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span dir="ltr" class=""><a href="http://serc.carleton.edu/earth_rendezvous/2016/program/morning_workshops/w1/index.html" class="">http://serc.carleton.edu/earth_rendezvous/2016/program/morning_workshops/w1/index.html</a> which includes a link to the detailed workshop agenda. <br class=""></span></font></div><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt;"><br class=""></span></div><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Preparing for an Academic Career in the Geosciences workshop at the Earth Educators Rendezvous: </span></div><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">July 18-20, 2016</span></div><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">University of Wisconsin-Madison</span></div><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br class=""><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"></span></div><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">See the Rendezvous registration page for details about registration fees, housing options, and other logistics</span></div><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><a href="http://serc.carleton.edu/earth_rendezvous/2016/registration.html" class=""><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">http://serc.carleton.edu/earth_rendezvous/2016/registration.html</span></a></div><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br class=""></div><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><font face="Tahoma" class="" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span dir="ltr" class=""></span></font><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;">Travel funds of up to $500 to support your workshop registration, travel, and lodging are available.
